Battlestar Go Frak Yourself (GFY)

Lunaris
Linkcat
majofa
dawn to dusk

This is a fucking amazing team and this is gonna be great.

I'm posting before Brawl has started, so I don't know if you can see this, but I can see it and you'll be able to see it later (I hope)

You've all Brawled before, so you all know how this works, which is excellent.

So this Brawl we've got five types of task on the menu. I think that we'll be able to cover all bases. I want you all to do whatever tasks you're most comfortable with, and the reverse is also true - if someone needs help with a task, let's give them that help. We're a team, not five mini-teams working under the same name.

We've all got skills in all areas in varying amounts. I've grouped us all up into roles based on skills I think you guys are best at. If I'm wrong, correct me as soon as you can!

In no particular order:
  • Lunaris: You're an excellent writer, I've seen the evidence. You'll be our Log Keeper.
  • Linkcat: We're gonna win Brawl twice. Make us the best cards. You are our Mechanic - keep this ship running.
  • majofa: I imagine you've seen a good number of decks in your time - I'd like you to be our Space Trooper, if that's alright. Also - if JCJ's review of you is anything to go by, you lay down critique like the law and say it how it is. I want you, when you can spare the time, to make sure that everyone's work is the best that it can be. Space Trooper and Critique Captain.
  • dawn to dusk: Loving the style of your landscapes in your auction thread. You are our Mapper. I appreciate that you don't particularly have a preference for tasks, so you can be an advisor to the other tasks and I'll be an advisor to you.
  • CleanOnion: I'm best at art and writing. I'll take Boss tasks and help out with all of you wherever I can.
If you're not happy with anything I've written above, let me know right away. Let's make sure any problems are sorted out before the tasks, not in the middle of them!



If you need to be inactive for a bit, that's totally okay, but please let us know by making a post here or somewhere so that we know to take over your task for you!



A note about the theme: the team name is Battlestar Galactica themed but that doesn't matter. If we want to be thematically consistent between tasks, just know that we're on a massive fucking gunship with nukes and attack fighters, and we have no clue what we're doing. That's our theme. Cluelessness - but let's do it in a way that makes everyone look forward to our submissions.

I don't want to go heavy on BSG references, because in order to win we need voints, and more alienation means less voints.



Also, there's a PvP task somewhere in there - who's best at PvP? (clue: it's not me)



Cheers guys! Love you all <3

Please post your threads as soon as you can. It's easier to put our thoughts down.

How are tasks going?

We've got a little under 2 days left to complete the tasks. Is anyone having any problems? Do you need someone to take over for you?

Just checking up <3

For reference: we have no time remaining.

Remember to ask yourselves:

Will this submission receive votes?  (We don't have to be first in every task, but we need to get consistently high placements across all the tasks.)

What will the other teams' submissions look like?  (It's good to list these when brainstorming, so we can decide which one will, in the end, be the best to submit.)

Am I going with my initial idea because it's the best one, or do just think it's good enough and not thing of any other ideas?  (Please post all ideas you have in the Forum thread, even if you think it's horrible. It may inspire a good idea.)

Am I not confident in what I'm coming up with for my task?  (Give us something... anything... we're a team and we can help.)

Deadline's over.

We did good, guys.

We all got our tasks done, and they were all good. Sure, 90% of the comments were criticism, but that's to be expected if we want to make them the best possible.

Every submission - the poem, the deck, the card, the planets, the wikipedia article - I'm proud to see them all go out. Thanks for being part of GFY.

Let's look forward to what the next round brings!

Standings for Round 1 are up, and if you ignore auction, we're totally winning

I think that's pretty good. Let's try and keep this flow going :P

On that note, how are submissions for Round 2 coming along? Does anyone need someone else to take over or are things pretty much ok?
